Intel Core i5-11400T vs Intel Core i7-8700K

Core i5-11400T vs Core i7-8700K comparison

Our benchmark analysis concludes that the Core i7-8700K performs better than the Core i5-11400T. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i5-11400T in all gaming tests too.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-8700K has a significantly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-11400T. Also, the Core i7-8700K has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i5-11400T CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-8700K CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Core i5-11400T has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-8700K. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.

Modern CPUs generally have more logical cores than physical cores, this means that each core is split into multiple virtual cores, improving efficiency for parallel workloads. Indeed, the Core i5-11400T has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
